The Ghana Police Service, in a joint operation with the Ghana Armed Forces, has deployed reinforcement teams to the Sawla, Gbiniyiri, and Giniri areas of the Savannah Region to restore calm following recent communal clashes. The move comes as part of intensified efforts to beef up security and ensure peace in the communities.
Inspector-General of Police, Christian Tetteh Yohuno, is leading a high-level delegation from the National Police Headquarters to the region. The purpose of the visit is to assess the security situation firsthand and engage in discussions with local chiefs, opinion leaders, and other community stakeholders.
Authorities are urging all involved parties to remain calm and cooperate with the security teams to achieve lasting peace.
The deployment of these teams and the presence of the Inspector-General of Police are a direct response to the escalating tensions and aim to prevent further violence. The collaboration between the police and military is intended to provide a robust security presence that will help de-escalate the situation and allow for a return to normalcy. Local leaders and residents are being asked to support the security forces in their mission to maintain law and order.
